Holy shit those fires in LA are kicking off. And it's WINTER over there. Of course nobody would be enacting the usual fire prevention activities

When I visited California I was surprised by how many eucalypts and other Australian plant species were used in gardens. I guess it’s because it’s a similar climate, hot dry summers, so they do well. But they are so flammable. Scary that such ferocious fires are happening mid winter.

it's terrifying and happening all over the world
slowly ALL the dry eucalypt forests, will burn and be gone
I think we should plant forests that don't burn

It's a bit terrifying, especially being the middle of winter. California has a pretty similar climate to us in terms of burning stuff, so you also wonder what it might mean for our future.

They planted a lot of eucalyptus trees there which then became naturalised. A lot of what is burning is eucalypt.

It's crazy. Apparently 0% of the fires are still not contained.
-
They're all contained?

ooops sorry meant 0% contained heh.
